Data Center Environment Assessment
 

Thermal Assessment 

  • Air, Temperature and Humidity measurements
  • Determine data center’s performance in doing equipment heat removal
  • Identify hot spots
  • Determine causes of hot spots and recommend how to reduce or eliminate them
  • CFD – computational fluid dynamics  
 

 

 

Electrical Assessment 

  • Determine capacity and integrity of electrical system supplying the data center
  • Perform single point of failure analysis
  • One line drawing verification and update
  • Make recommendation to maximize system availability

 

 

 

Floor Plan and Equipment List 

  • Log and update  current floor plan
  • Inventory record of facility power infrastructure equipment
  • Inventory record of all air and rack equipment  
 

 

 

 

Findings and Recommendation Report 

  • Detailed report that depicts true picture of data center
  • Improvement recommendation report to eliminate “hot spots”, improve airflow and reduce heat in data center
  • Improvement recommendation report to maximize system availability both now and in the future
